rachel. 20. trying to be healthy and fit!

Good evening fellow fitblrs!

I have some bad news to report.

I have been home for almost a month now and I have not lost weight, but I have gained it some back.

Being home makes me fall into old habits, and it makes me become a person that I do not want to be.

I haven’t been working out or eating right and my weight has gone up because of it.

However I have realized this and I need to stop this right now.

I have been eating like I used to in high school when I was depressed and alone.

I turned to food as a friend. When there was no one to hang out with; I decided to hang out with some brownies, ice cream, Wendy’s, pizza, french fries, cake, cookies etc.

Food is not meant to be your friend. Food is fuel.

I felt so much better when I worked out and ate well.

It is hard to do, but I am ready to start this journey again. I wish I didn’t have to say that, but my mind got the best of me.

I think that restricting will work best for me, because I need to regain self control. I don’t have any right now.

I am going to work out when I have free time instead of being sad or just watching Netflix or something.

I have decided that I want to be able to do a handstand by the time I go back to school.

I am pretty close :)

I am going to try and be binge free for at least a week and then see where it takes me.

I should make another inspiration poster and hang it up too.

Sorry to disappoint, but food just got the best of me.

Time to get back into shape and being a healthier, happier me!

july ‘11: around 192

april ‘12: around 167

gw: 145-150

:D

Just went for a run

I was so excited and pumped to run, but then I got an awful cramp.

I really wanted to break my mile record, but I just couldn’t shake it off.

Anyone have any advice on how to prevent cramps or what to do when they happen?

Well I’ve lost the weight that I gained on vacation.

Now I just need to lose the weight that I put on before vacation and then some bahaa

I’m at 169 now +_+ but hopefully by the end of the week I’ll be 167-168.

At the end of April I want to be in the low 160s maybe high 150s that is my goal!

I actually put spinach on my turkey sandwich today like if you knew you would know that that is a huge step for me since I have also eaten my sandwiches with just turkey and mayo.

HOORAY!

I’m so proud and I made fish for dinner last nite like who am I?

I ran yesterday but I was really bad since I’m sore. I think today I am going to do week 2 of the 30DS since I need something new.

I wanna know my followers so talk to me people! I’m friendly and always looking for some tumblr weight loss buddies we’re all in this together :)

just got back from a run!!

just got back from a run!!

FUNNNNN!!!

Okieeee so america’s next top model is having cycle 19 casting call: college edition in dallas on sunday and i’m going!!!

Like I am so excited. I need to do this.

1. I’ve always watched ANTM and my sister and my friends would play and pretend to be models.

2. I want to meet Tyra Banks. I hate her but I would die if I met her.

3. I NEED to teach girls that they have to love their bodies. It doesn’t matter what they look like, as long as they are healthy.

4. I am finally confident enough to do something like this and it would be an amazing opportunity.

5. WHY NOT AHHHHHHH

Since I’ve lost almost 50 pounds I am super confident and am ready to show the world!

But hey I’m not perfect and this society needs to know that models and women are not and cannot be perfect.

I have love handles and stretch marks and large breasts and freckles and pimples and a big nose and eczema but do I let those things stop me.

FUCK NO.

I have finally embraced my looks and I proud of who I am.

:)

RACHEL FOR ANTM CYCLE 19 BITCHEZ!!!!

I love apples and peanut butter.

It’s my favorite snack omg. bahahhahah

I walked around at the zoo today yayyyy it was fun.

On the weekend I always don’t eat as well as I should, but I know when to cut myself off.

I want to be able to do a pull up. I was doing flips at the zoo today and I loved it.

I also want to have like 20% body fat. I think I can do it. I’m around 25-26% now.

Time to start the week off right.

:D

Such a nice day out today!!

I went for a run at my town’s wildlife center.

I felt really amazing.

I walked/ran, but oh well it was something!

:D

I’m really glad I did it.

Good day!

I’m sick wahhh so I’m too tired to work out.

I might do a little bit of strength stuff but I’m super congested.

Today I had multigrain cheerios for breakfast, then for lunch I had panera yum chicken noodle soup, turkey with mayo, and an iced green tea. Then for dinner I had pasta with veggies. It was in some sort of sauce that my mom made, but it was good!

I haven’t had anything bad today yayayayayyaay.

I need to lose like 15 more pounds and I will be happpppier!

Hello New Followers!

Thanks so much for following!!!

I haven’t been eating that great lately. But I feel like that’s a good thing. I’m remembering that all of this shitty food makes me feel gross and I don’t want to eat it.

I can’t wait to go home and go back to school to get back into the swing of things.

It’s also hard to eat healthy when everyone around you isn’t, but I need to stay strong.

I need to lose 15-20 more pounds!

I can do it!!

TRainer!

Got back from the trainer about an hour ago.

Again it was kind of easy, but I like the workout. I just wish it was harder.

I might run tonight or do some cardio or something.

I had multigrain cheerios for breakfast and for lunch some leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, and green beans with chocolate milk!

I’m still teetering between 166-168, so that’s okay.

I’m comfortable with myself, and I know what I have to do.

I’m not too concerned with my weight anymore. I just want to focus on losing my love handles.

Yayyyy for weight loss!!

Walkingggggg.

I walked/ran around times square in new york city today, so I’m counting that as a bit of cardio lololol

I just did about 15min of strength stuff because I was out all day from 12pm-1:20am.

Wahhhh.

I’m done with cookies and cake, but I think it was good for my body to have some of that stuff. I’ve tricked it with having more calories and now it’s time to get back to business.

I really need to run tomorrow though.

I MUST FIT IT IN.

My abs look more defined and I am really happy about it!

I just need to get rid of the fat on my lower stomach and I am good to go :)

PS: I am obsessed with my polar heart rate monitor. EVERYONE NEEDS ONE!!!

:)

I ran a mile this morning on the treadmill and just finished up day 3 of the 30 day shred. i can do all of the exercises just fine, but the side lunge with arm raise thing KILLS ME. i can barely do it more than twice in a row, but i’m working on it.

:)

i need to write down what i eat again, because i know that if i actually see what i’m eating then i’ll stop with any little treats here and there.
